Trainsity Recife Metro Android App

Find your way around the FIFA World Cup 2014 city of Recife, Brazil using the high resolution vector maps of the MetroRec's Center 1, Center 2, South and Diesel Train Lines. The maps have small file size footprints but with many levels of zoom and can work offline without an Internet connection. Users can tap the train station labels to open Google Maps or Street View, where they can use all the functions of the Google apps to visualize the surrounding area and/or perform routing for directions.

On a mobile handset, the app will display a list of train lines, which when tapped will open up a detail view of the metro transit map, as shown below.
Tapping the station boxes will bring up an option menu where users can choose to display the station in Google Maps or Street View.
The app is also optimized for tablet devices. The layout on a tablet will display both the list and the vector map at the same time, as shown below.
Users can toggle the map to full screen mode by tapping the action bar icon at the top.
The app is available on the Google Play Store. Just click the button below.
